This series of works explores what colour is, how we see it and importantly for me the emotional responses to colour. Some animals especially birds can actually see ultra-violet light which is invisible to the human eye, that would be an interesting view of the world. Some experts say that there is no colour in the external world and what we see is only a neural response to the various electromagnetic waves of light generated by the cones in the retina, and so the colours we see are a very personal response to the world around us. So why do we perceive different colours? When light hits an object some wavelengths are absorbed and others are reflected, this is governed by the molecular structure of the object, some wavelengths can be absorbed as energy what we see are the wavelengths which cannot be accommodated and so the reflected wavelengths of light stimulate the cones in the retina and the brain registers these as a colour. When all the wavelengths in the visual spectrum are absorbed we see black and when all are reflected we see white. When some are absorbed and some are reflected we see different colors of the spectrum. [1] [the above paragraph is taken from the cited webpage but has been altered somewhat by myself for brevity].
